Great to meet you!

I’m Lisa, a licensed clinical social worker, with a Master of Social Work, and over 20 years of experience working with both adults and adolescents. I specialize in helping individuals cope with a range of issues, including trauma, addiction, psychosis, adolescent mental health, anxiety, depression, PTSD, paraphilia, and more. I believe these struggles, while deeply personal, can often affect many areas of life, such as relationships, work, and overall well-being.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy combines psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and trauma-informed methods. I believe in the power of self-exploration to uncover underlying patterns and develop practical skills for managing life’s challenges. My goal is to help you learn about yourself, find personal growth, and ultimately feel better.

What you can expect from our first session

In our work together, I aim to create a nonjudgmental and safe space where you can freely discuss anything on your mind—no issue is too small to address. I understand that reaching out for help can feel daunting, but know that you are worth the effort. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to work with you on this journey. Feel free to contact me to schedule an appointment.
